Summary

Summary

During a long final approach to the strip, the engine began to run rough. When the engine power dropped to idle the pilot elected to carry out a forced landing in a paddock. During the landing roll the aircraft ran through a fence and a ditch. Examination of the engine by an engineering workshop did not find any defects.
